Title: Imgur embed Author: manthanadmane Published: September 8, 2020 Last modified: September 30, 2024 --- # Imgur embed ## In this article * [Block Toolbar](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/imgur-embed/?output_format=md#block-toolbar) * [Block Settings](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/imgur-embed/?output_format=md#block-settings) * [Changelog](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/imgur-embed/?output_format=md#changelog) [ Back to top](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/imgur-embed/?output_format=md#wp--skip-link--target) [Go back to the list of Blocks](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/blocks/) Using the Imgur Embed block you can include an [Imgur](https://imgur.com/) post into your post/page, so your visitor can stay on your site to view the Imgur post directly, without redirecting to Imgur. Also note that you don’t need an Imgur account to embed an image, GIF or video, although it needs to be public. ![Imgur Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/2020/09/imgurPreview. png) Steps to embed an Imgur post in your post or page: 1. Head over the Imgur URL of the post you want to embed and copy the URL of the post from the browser bar. ![How to copy the URL from an Imgur post.](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/ 2020/09/ImgurEmbedURL-1024x706.png) 2.

Click on the “Embed” Button If it’s a link that can be successfully embedded you will see a preview in your editor. ![Preview of an Imgur Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/2022/ 08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-01-at-4.52.09-PM-1-1024x952.png) If you use a URL that can’t be embedded, the block shows the message “Sorry, this content could not be embedded.” You will have two choices: Try again with a different URL or convert to a link. ![](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/2020/09/imgurCanNotEmbed-1024x282. png) 5. Click on “Preview” to see how it will look on the front end of your page ![Preview of an Imgur post in the Imgur Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/ files/2020/09/imgurPreview-1.png) ## 󠀁[Block Toolbar](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/imgur-embed/?output_format=md#block-toolbar)󠁿 Each block has its own block-specific controls that allow you to manipulate the block right in the editor. The Block Toolbar for the Imgur embed shows four buttons: * Transform to * Block moving tools * Change alignment * Edit URL, and * More Options ![Block toolbar in the in the Imgur Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/ files/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-01-at-4.48.27-PM.png) **Transform to**: ![Transform tool in the Imgur Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/ 2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-01-at-4.54.35-PM-1024x1012.png) You can transform an Imgur embed block into a Paragraph, Columns or Group block. Changing an Imgur embed block into a Group block would give you the ability to change the background color around the Imgur embed. ![Editor view of an Imgur Embed as a group with Color Settings controls](https:// wordpress.org/documentation/files/2022/08/imgur1-1024x931.png) Editor view of an Imgur Embed as a group with Color Settings controls ![Imgur embed with a blue background.](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/ 2020/09/imgurEmbedBgColorPreview-1-1024x624.png) Imgur embed with a blue background. **Block-moving tools** ![Block moving tools in the Imgur Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/ files/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-01-at-5.02.13-PM.png) Use the block-moving tools to move the block up and down the editor.

Media settings ![Media settings for the Imgur embed block with the toggle OFF for resizing on smaller devices.](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/2022/08/Dailymotion-HelpHub- SS-16.png) ![Media settings for the Imgur embed block with the toggle ON for resizing on smaller devices.](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/2022/08/Dailymotion-HelpHub- SS-15-1.png) Via the _Media Settings_ you can control the behavior of your post embed when viewed from a smaller device, like on a phone screen. The Toggle switch turns on or off the resize functionality for smaller devices. The default setting is “on” or blue. **“Off:”** This embed may not preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. In the off position, the toggle switch is gray. **“On:”** This embed will preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. The toggle switch turns blue in the “On” position. **Advanced settings** The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit.
